Have you ever felt like you were working on everything that everyone else wanted, but had no time for yourself? If you fail to put into perspective all the priorities that you have in your life, you can quickly become drained of your energy.
If you are like me, you can divide your priorities into three categories:
1. Priorities that are required of you. You have no choice, but to keep these high on your list. Maybe they are activities that only you can do. Or activities that are required because of your position or occupation.
2. Priorities driven by desire. These are the priorities associated with activities that provide you joy. They energize you. You are always trying to fit these in your schedule.
3. Priorities that give you personal results. These are the priorities that help you sustain or grow your income. These activities are what provide you the ability to pay for your life.
The next time you updating your priority list, think about how you can make sure you are covering all 3 types of priorities. It will keep you in harmony with your long term plans.
If you would like to review your priorities and find more clarity in your actions, I would be glad to meet you for a coffee!
